- Volume 4: Stormy Jiangnan Chapter 49: Night Fight
It was just dawn when the Zhongzhou Guard sentry who was squatting along the riverbank heard a faint noise coming from the east. After a while, a dark figure suddenly appeared on the road along the riverside.
Puff puff
The heavy object hit the solid road surface, making a rhythmic and dull sound. Everyone in Zhongzhou Guard's sentinel team immediately opened their eyes wide. From far to near, the figures became clearer and clearer. The upright spear thrust into the sky, and the long knife on the waist was swinging with him. Four rows of soldiers wearing light armor walked neatly, without any hesitation or hindrance in their movements. The sonorous steps shook the earth. Looking from a distance, Like a huge moving fortress
The elite of Dongyang Guard
The sentry at the forefront immediately got on his horse, raised his whip and hit the horse's buttocks. The horse soared like a dragon, its huge four hooves rolled up the broken dust and mud, and galloped desperately towards the rear.
Meteor Scouting Horses, one after another, kept galloping back from the front, passing through Liulin Town, Juma River, Anjia Temple, Tushan, Tower Temple, Huangyan In the middle, they constantly passed by the inn to change horses, and finally sent the message back. Arrive at Xiangyang City.
According to statistics from observations along the way, the total number of troops sent by Dongjiang this time is about 4,000. They should be the most elite troops under Li Xian of Dongyang Guard. After the more than 1,000 troops led by Li Xian at the beginning, Dongyang Guard All the remaining soldiers.
Commander Luo Tiande laughed loudly after hearing the news, and his heart immediately relaxed. Li Xian? Hehe, he is just a junior, and he is too underestimated to play such trivial tricks in front of a general who is old in battles. Sample? Isn't everything as expected? As soon as the other end went out, the other end was already It was just a team of four thousand people, and they wanted to attack Xiangyang City. Wasn't King Wu dreaming? If it was just a sneak attack, then if he came out so blatantly, could he really pretend that Luo didn't exist?
Luo Tian was full of confidence and immediately ordered: some of the sentinels of the Zhongzhou Guard in front were ordered to continue to follow, and the rest of the troops quickly retreated with the Anling left guard. At the same time, the Anling right guard left a small force to guard Ta Temple and Huangyan, and the rest The army also pointed its troops to the east, setting up ambush circles at the line between Liulin Town and Juma River, waiting for the arrival of the elite Dongyang Guards.
Of the three Dongjiang guards, Dongyang Guard ranks first in terms of combat power.
However, in Luo Tian's view, it is just a false name. Even though Li Xian of Dongyang Guard led more than a thousand troops to continuously capture the four towns of Liulin, Jumahe, Tamiao and Huangyan, Luo Tian felt that it was due to the opponent's lightning movements and speed, coupled with the sneak attack. . If the two sides really fight with real swords and guns, the outcome is still unknown. Now there are only 4,000 men from the Dongyang Guard coming from the west, and the troops on the imperial court's side include not only nearly 2,000 men and horses from the Zhongzhou Guard, nearly a centaur from the Anling Left Guard, but there is also a complete Anling Right Guard in the rear. Backup is available at any time, and the combined strength is almost double the Dongyang Guard's strength. What's more, the commander leading the troops at Anling's right guard, the current general Huang Xin, was a subordinate led by Luo Tian. Luo Tian naturally knew his abilities. Therefore, Luo Tian was determined and did not take the Dongyang Guard's four thousand elites into consideration.
However, one day later, the battle situation quickly surprised Luo Tian.
When they first came out, the four thousand soldiers of Dongyang Guard meandered forward in four columns in the shape of a long snake. However, after exiting the three forks, they suddenly broke into several sections, like an earthworm that was suddenly cut open. There are about a few hundred people in each section, and there is a distance of twenty feet between two sections. Along the way, we gradually approached the outskirts of Liulin Town. As they approached Liulin Town, Dongyang Guard's marching speed suddenly slowed down
Just like an advancing tiger, when it is approaching the target and preparing to launch an attack, it suddenly disappears and its movements become soft and soothing. At the same time, it maintains a distance from the target, which not only prevents being targeted, but also allows people to wait for the best attack. opportunity.
However, in this way, the originally prepared defensive line somewhat loses its meaning. The original battle preparation was to wait for the Dongyang Guards to step into the ambush line, then hold back, attack them from both sides, and eliminate them on the outskirts of Liulin Town and Juma River. However, now it seems that Dongyang Guard seems to be like a hunter with a keen sense of smell. He has foreseen the danger in advance. He is about to step into the ambush line, but he stops there, wandering around, but never leaves
Huang Xin, the commander of Anling's right guard, was lying down behind a few low shrubs, staring at Wu Jun in the distance, feeling a little anxious. With Huang Xin's eyesight, it was impossible not to see the opponent's strength. Just a change in the marching formation and pace caught our own side by surprise. From this point of view, the general leading the opponent's army must not be an ordinary person in this situation. If they attack by force, all the preparations in advance will be in vain. The ambush The battle turned into an offensive and defensive battle, with the outcome unpredictable.
Although the number of our own troops is said to be nearly 10,000, the actual number of troops on the front line is only more than 5,000. IfAn attack relies not only on military strength and combat power, but also on the right time and place, so these people are enough. What's more, as a front-line general, no one is dizzy. They just invest all their troops before the battle.
However, if we attack now, the two armies are facing each other. The other side is the Dongyang Guard, which is known as the most powerful among the three Dongjiang Guards, and our own side currently, most of them are Zhongzhou Guards and Anling Left Guards. These two armies have Having been defeated by Li Xian one after another, what would it be like to face him again now? The quality of these two armies, judging from the actions on this day, Huang Xin's combat power is slightly worse than Anling's right guard, but the gap is not very big. In addition to the previous defeat, it would be unrealistic to say that there is no psychological weakness against Dongyang Wei. Therefore, although Huang Xixin was anxious, he still suppressed his desire for a battle and lay down in the grass, waiting for the best opportunity.
On the other side, the troops of Zhongzhou Guard and Anling Left Guard have also been standing still. Although Huang Xin is the commander of Anling Right Guard and is on the same level as the commanders of the other two guards, he is the main commander of this operation. He does not move. , others naturally dare not move.
The sun sets from the middle sky to the west sky, from the top of the mountain to the back of the mountain. Watching the night fall, the light dims little by little. The Dongyang guards and horses in the distance still maintain a loose formation, neither camping nor advancing. sign¡¡
??What the hell does he want to do?
Huang Xin gritted his teeth, stared hard and looked hard, thinking viciously in his heart.
Something is wrong. They are lingering here. Are they just waiting for dark? And then launch a raid? If that's the case, why do you come in such a big way, as if you're afraid that others won't? What is going on
Huang Xin fell into deep thought, but his long-term combat career made him involuntarily have some worries. Orders were issued one after another. The imperial army was on alert and on alert. Scouts with nimble hands and feet were also sent out, and they were constantly on the lookout. Stay close to Wu Jun to observe their latest movements.
The night is as dark as ink.
No, it wasn¡¯t God¡¯s intention. There were no stars or moon this night.
The wind blows all over the fields, and the grass and trees are dancing in all directions, like magic soldiers in the dark night. The imperial army, whose eyes were widened in the darkness, were highly nervous, fearing that if they were not careful, the other party would kill them. However, after an hour, there was still no movement. Another hour has passed and still no movement
Gradually, fatigue quietly creeps into the corners of the eyes and eyebrows, spreading from the head to the limbs
In the dark night, no one noticed that Dongyang Guard¡¯s four thousand soldiers suddenly lost one thousand.
I don¡¯t know how much time passed, but even Huang Xin couldn¡¯t hold on and dozed off. Suddenly, with a shout, there was a loud killing sound from the front left.
Huang Xin jumped up from the ground, listened carefully, and immediately judged that the sound of killing started from the far left side of the defense line - the area under the jurisdiction of Zhongzhou Guard. Huang Xin's first reaction was, Zhongzhou Guard, can Can't stand it? Immediately afterwards, my heart suddenly sank. It was such a dark night. The opponent stayed and rested for most of the night, but he could accurately touch the location of Zhongzhou Guard's defense. Could it be that the opponent had already known all the arrangements?
Huang Xin's usually calm and collected mind suddenly became confused at this moment.
¡¡¡¡¡¡
It was night, and the imperial army was originally setting up an ambush, but instead it was attacked by the Wu army in the dark. The defensive line, which formed an arc, was cut open on the left side. Although Zhongzhou Guard resisted with all his strength, he was inevitably cut off and surrounded by the opponent. When the Anling left guard and Anling right guard were accurately cut by the Wu army, they had to be drawn by the situation and rush out from the ambush to break the siege of the Zhongzhou guard.
Although the situation was passive in the darkness, Huang Xin still showed good general skills. He did not go directly to reinforce, but went south and east, made an arc outward, turned back and attacked Wu Jun from behind. Anling's left guard directly reinforced from west to east and started a melee with the Wu army in the dark.
There is no starlight, no moonlight, and no one dares to light a torch. In the long-term darkness, if you light a torch at this time, it will not only expose your position, attract the opponent's swords, guns, and arrows, but also may dazzle your own eyes.
¡°The previous arrangements suddenly lost their effect. Except for the response after the incident, all the remaining battles seemed to rely solely on the instincts of the soldiers on both sides
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡ However, later on, the situation began to evolve into a multi-faceted melee, and sometimes it was even difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. The red-eyed soldiers could only swing their swords at everyone who suddenly appeared in front of them.
Finally, the darkness gradually faded? faded away, and everything around him gradually became clear.
The skylight slowly rises from the horizon.
